Multi-Modal Research—Using Dance as a Research Method EXHIBITION MODES (Volume 2), at Teachers College, Columbia University, New York

How can participants use dance as a language to express themselves? What might this embodiment tell us? Dr. Dagmar Spain discusses her research in her dissertation, titled “Embodied Dialogic Spaces as Research Methodology for Students’ Postgraduate Reflection on Their Dance Learning.” Her dissertation was part of MODES: A Multimodal Dissertations Exhibition (Volume 2) (https://www.tc.columbia.edu/digitalfu.. ) and explored how scholars are bridging the gap between research, practice, and audience with their creative dissertations. These alternative modes of scholarly inquiry and expression provide insight into different ways data can be collected and responded to in a mediated, digital, multimodal world.
